Volume 3 Hello, Eri Chapter 247 Girl's Flower Arrangement (VI)
"It seems that our charges can no longer be cleared." Caesar said with emotion.
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand.
"I'm talking about smuggling nuclear fuel, terrorist attacks, and raping young girls." Caesar said confidently, "Look, smuggling nuclear fuel, we drove the Trieste to conduct an underwater nuclear explosion. Terrorist attacks, we attacked the police as soon as we arrived in Japan, and now we are still fighting the police. Rape young girls, you kidnapped a beautiful girl from the Snake Eight Clan, and lived with her late at night."
"Please be careful with your words! First of all, Eri is almost twenty years old, not a little girl. Secondly, I did not rape her, we just slept together for one night!" Lu Mingfei argued loudly.
"It's nothing more than raping a young girl and then trafficking a young girl. There's not much difference."
"Why are you so sure I did something wrong?"
"Considering your behavior so far, it's impossible that Eri is holding you hostage." Caesar shrugged, "By the way, where is she? If necessary, we may have to find a way to get to Takamagahara as well."
"No, the people of the Uesugi family must know the head of the Minamoto family. If we bring Eri to Takamagahara, there will be a risk of her coming into contact with Minamoto Chisei." Chu Zihang said immediately. He was thinking differently from Caesar. Caesar was thinking about the convenience of controlling two people at the same time, but Chu Zihang was thinking more about the consequences.
"I left her in the hotel." Lu Mingfei said, "I support my senior brother's opinion. You haven't seen Eri, so you can't imagine how simple her mind is. Since she has never been in contact with the outside world, she doesn't even have basic common sense. When I met her, she ran away from home and cried on the streets of Akihabara. Compared to letting her come to a place like this, it's more appropriate to let her stay in a hotel."
"But we have to find a way to keep an eye on her. We are outnumbered in Japan, and the academy must be trying to get in touch with us. Before that, we must have some cards to face the Snake Eight Families. The more the better." Caesar suggested.
"I have hired a housekeeper to take care of Eri. If necessary, I can go by myself." Lu Mingfei tied her hair up and put it on her chest. This immediately transformed her from a cute girl to an elegant everyday lady. "Unlike you, I can be hard to recognize as long as I put on some makeup and change my clothes. It's no problem for me to go out for activities."
"It's a little risky, but it's feasible." Chu Zihang agreed with Lu Mingfei's idea. As her official boyfriend, he had seen Lu Mingfei in many different styles. She was a truly versatile girl, and it was not difficult for her to change herself and hide her identity through makeup.
"As a boyfriend, are you really willing to let her sleep in the same bed with someone else?" Caesar looked at Chu Zihang as if Ultraman saw a little monster.
"Don't we sleep in the same bed? Would Nuo Nuo have any special thoughts after knowing what happened in the past two days?" Chu Zihang counterattacked indifferently.
Lu Mingfei looked at Caesar with her eyes wide open in surprise. The lethality of Chu Zihang's words was so great that it was enough to shock people.
"We don't have our own room yet because we're new, so we sleep together. Don't look at me like that." Caesar could only avoid Lu Mingfei's gossiping eyes. "I won't let Nuonuo know what happened here, otherwise she'll definitely yell at me to dress up as a gigolo and perform for her, and then she'll stuff a bunch of money into the chest of my suit to tease me."
After the underwater incident, the relationship between the two seemed to have eased, perhaps because they had been through life and death together, or perhaps because the two brothers who had been performing their second-year roles on stage every day these days gradually became more and more like real actors. In any case, Lu Mingfei thought this was a good thing. In the past, they could only occasionally communicate with each other, but now they were as harmonious as two frogs jumping synchronously on a lotus leaf. When one calls, the other will respond.
"Then the arrangements for Eri and Minamoto Chisei are finalized for now. Our first priority now is to pass the interview in Takama-ga-hara." Caesar snapped his fingers.
"Interview? You're the protagonists of a stage play, but after all this fuss you're still an intern?" Lu Mingfei was very surprised. Even an underground band in a bar would not easily give newcomers a chance to perform on stage. When Caesar and Chu Zihang were performing, the audience applauded loudly. No one would have thought that they were just rookies who had just arrived.
"This is the rule in Takamagahara. New gigolos need to perform their talents to win flower tickets for themselves. They need to get 300 tickets within three days. Chu Zihang and I both easily reached the target. But this is only the first step. Flower tickets are proof of your charm. After that, you have to pass the interview of the store manager himself. All gigolos working here have to go through this process."
"What kind of person is the store manager?"
"The last man to appear in the show just now was a middle school student with a whale tattoo on his bald head."
Lu Mingfei thought to herself, Caesar, are you still qualified to complain about other people's chuunibyou? In terms of the severity of chuunibyou, Takanashi Rikka is just a goblin in front of you! She can only imagine the AN card switching, you pull out a gun and directly turn from a nobleman into a gun king!
"The manager asked all of us to have an interview. Only in this way can we be qualified to stay, including you and Xiyue. However, Xiyue rejected the manager's proposal and said that she only wanted to help at the bar. She conquered the manager with her superb bartending skills." Chu Zihang said, "I think there should be no problem between Caesar and me."
"So it's all up to me to perform, right?" Lu Mingfei immediately understood what his senior meant. "It's impossible for me to help in the kitchen. I know my cooking skills. They're not bad, but they're not delicious either. I can't make it into the menu of a high-end club. If I have to be a gigolo to stay here... then I can only give it a try. At Kassel College, I chat with the girls in the fan club every day. They all regard me as an idol. I should be able to be a psychological counselor for girls. The only problem is, won't I be suspected of deceiving my customers if I become a gigolo? I'm a girl after all. They like sunny and cheerful boys, right?"
"Since the store manager has no objection, it means there is no problem. A sunny little boy might be particularly popular." Caesar was full of praise for Lu Mingfei's future, and he seemed to be very eager to see Lu Mingfei's downfall.
"Don't stereotype my role so quickly, okay?" Lu Mingfei pouted, "If I were to change my gender, I would definitely be a cold little boy with a devilish smile that would make pretty girls scream."
"Very good, you have successfully put yourself into the role." Caesar patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, revealing a satisfied look, "You see, things like lower limits are meant to be broken! As long as you think it's interesting to join this, then you just need to face it!"
"I'm very sure that your logic is dead... Don't think I'm full of expectations!" Lu Mingfei impatiently slapped Caesar's big hand away. To be honest, she had never thought that this Italian golden-haired gorilla could be so annoying.
The doors painted with blue albizzia flowers opened one after another. Standing beside each door was a tall and burly bodyguard in black. Among them were even foreigners. Some were taller than Caesar, with slightly bulging waists, and it was obvious that they were equipped with guns.
This is the top floor of Takamagahara. This nightclub is located in a rather majestic four-story building. The first floor is the stage and dance floor, where grand performances are held and female guests drink and dance. The second floor is the SPA and beauty salon, and Gen Chisheng used one of the small rooms. The third floor is the Kaiseki restaurant and teahouse. The senior gigolos all have their own suites on the third floor, while newcomers like Basara King and Ukyo Tachibana, although their achievements are already dazzling enough to rank in the top three in history, can only live in the basement before passing the formal interview. So this is not just a simple interview for regularization, but also means actively improving one's own treatment.
The fourth floor is the current floor. No one can set foot here without the invitation of the store manager. The fourth floor has a nickname in Takama-ga-hara, which is called the sea.
Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei walked into the door side by side. The first two wore formal suits, their hair was styled with hairspray, and they looked very energetic. Lu Mingfei also wanted to wear a suit. Since the purpose was to dress up as a gigolo, it was understandable for her to dress up as a boy during the interview.
However, after searching through all the closets in the store, he couldn't find a small-sized suit suitable for the 1.6-meter-tall girl. The gigolos here were all tall and handsome, and there was even a sumo wrestler who was as fat as 200 pounds. But there were no small-sized short boys, and naturally there was no corresponding stuff.
Lu Mingfei had no choice but to choose a nightclub dress. The backless black halter dress was inlaid with sequins, and she wore nude crystal high heels, silver pendant earrings, and her hair was combed into loose long curls. She turned herself into a happy girl in the nightclub. Since she couldn't appear in men's clothing, it was better to show her beautiful side. At least let the manager think that this girl can compete with the customers with her looks alone, and she won't be inferior if she dresses up as a shota.
The entire fourth floor is the store manager's residence, so the store manager's unique personal taste is displayed from the door. The main color of the entire floor is sea blue, with sea blue walls, sea blue carpets, sea blue curtains, and even the porcelain on the dining table. Each bodyguard has a turtle, starfish, and crab tattooed on his bald head. With the ecological fish tank behind them surrounding the entire floor, with various ornamental fish undulating, this place really looks like a corner of the ocean.
"Is the store manager trying to show off that he is really a whale?" Lu Mingfei muttered softly.
They stopped in front of the last sea-blue door, in front of which stood the most burly bodyguard in the place. He could only be described by words like "Meat Mountain Devil". He was a national sumo wrestler, with fat all over his body and every move he made was as smooth as autumn water.
Chu Zihang pulled Lu Mingfei's waist, indicating that they should bow their heads and say hello together.
"Fujiwara-senpai."
"Before the interview begins, I have something to tell you, not as a person in the store, but as a senior." Fujiwara Kansuke looked directly into the eyes of each of them one by one. Although everyone was a gigolo in the store and had a competitive relationship, Caesar and Fujiwara had a good personal relationship and both liked to enjoy cigars. Caesar used his rich knowledge of cigars to become Fujiwara's good friend.
"Your experience?" Caesar smiled. "Although I appreciate it, I'm not the kind of person who would cheat on this kind of thing."
"No." Fujiwara Kansuke shook his head. "The boss asks different questions to each person, so there is no standard answer. The key is that you must be honest. The boss hates liars."
"Understood."
Fujiwara Kansuke nodded and stepped aside: "Good luck to you!"
The last door slowly opened, and the fresh scent of seaweed wafted in the air. There were sounds of water everywhere, as if they were facing a rough sea.
Behind the door was a circular hall with a huge circular transparent fish tank as its wall. Clusters of soft corals grew on the rocks, seaweed swayed in the artificial waves, and a sea turtle slowly floated up. Before it reached the top, the two-meter-long tiger shark had already swam around the hall.
The hall was very spacious, with an oversized desk in front of two rows of bookshelves. In the light, an exquisitely crafted leather office chair was facing the door with its back. A man with a whale tattoo on his head was standing next to the office chair with a white tablecloth hanging on his arm.
Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other and nodded at the same time. They both realized that something was wrong. As new gigolos who had been staying in the store for several days, they had seen the store manager from afar several times. Whenever he appeared in private occasions, he would wear huge sunglasses, looking very domineering and having the aura of a gangster supreme.
But now the man could not sit down. He stood there respectfully, obviously facing the office chair, and the white cloth on his arm represented his identity as a waiter.
This means that he is not the real boss. He is serving someone. The real boss is sitting on the office chair, but the tall chair back blocks the boss's entire figure. The new gigolos have no way of judging what kind of domineering boss . He controls a prestigious and luxurious gigolo shop like Takama-ga-hara, but uses a stand-in to appear on his behalf. I think his identity must be very special.
This method is not uncommon, and many entrepreneurs who have reached a certain level of status will do this, launching a substitute under their control to control the overall situation. Although on the surface the right to speak has changed hands, in fact it is still firmly in their own hands.
Caesar is very familiar with this operation. Many companies under the Gattuso family operate in this way. No trace of Frost can be found in the information of these companies through any network software. However, Frost is the one who truly controls these companies. Only entrepreneurs of the same high status can meet with Frost. Others are only qualified to talk to spokespersons. The decision-making power lies in Frost's hands.
And now, the boss hiding behind the scenes actually showed up, just for the interview of the new gigolo.
